The Holy Grail War Blessed by the Gods

I don't have time to continue playing with you here. Let me see the limits of your divine power! Burn everything, Kavinting!

Having witnessed this scene, Gawain knew that the gates of the Holy City could no longer be blocked. The gates, which were only allowed to be opened by pure people, would eventually be tainted by evil, and the gates would become meaningless.

"An ideal kingdom, a flawless realm, though it may not be the fruit that catches my attention, it can still serve as an appetizer before the main course as I pass by. Fall, fall..."

Near the corrupted holy city, the earth rumbled, and then a crimson monster burst forth from the ground.

Three magical beasts with fluorescent blue eyes, rose-like thorns, and sharp scales emerged from the earth.

"Are you already so eager to show yourself? It's fine, but it'll just take a little more effort to deal with them all at once."

It's just three magical beasts; they're not much of an obstacle.

Chapter Thirty-Four: West Side

Of all the battles surrounding the Holy City, the western side was the most intense.

When the righteous knights in purple armor appeared on the battlefield, the attacking army of the mountain people was greatly hindered.

That was the force led by the guerrilla knight Lancelot. There were two guerrilla knights in the Holy City, Lancelot and Mordred.

As guerrilla knights, they would not stay in the Holy City for long; Mordred herself did not even have permission to reside in the Holy City.

4. Mordred is dead, and her surviving Chastises have been given to Lancelot. The arrival of these large and elite Chastises has put tremendous pressure on the Mountain People.

(8) If it weren't for the existence of the Angry Serpent, a divine beast from the heavens, the western battlefield might have experienced a certain degree of defeat. However, the existence of that Angry Serpent has allowed the situation to remain balanced.

Ritsuka Fujimaru was able to command the battle quite smoothly from inside the Angry Serpent, and through the communication equipment equipped on the Angry Serpent, she was able to transmit messages directly to the commanders of the various squads.

With the help of the wrathful serpent's poisonous flames, the mountain people's army even managed to climb the city walls at one point.

But just as the mountain people's army had secured the city walls and was preparing to expand their forces and completely take over the area...

Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake, wielding the holy sword Arondette, appeared on the city wall. With a single swing of his sword, the mountain people who had climbed the wall were all swept off their feet.

5. "Lord Lancelot, the Mountain People's army is stronger than before, but it is still not a great threat."

The only threat to the city walls is that dragon in the sky. We can't touch it; we can only rely on Lord Lancelot and your dragon-slaying weapon, Arondette.

The guerrilla knights who arrived first quickly reported the situation to Lancelot, who was also on his way.

"That's exactly why I came here, but first we need to lower the dragon's position. If the dragon stays in the air, I'm afraid we'll have to ask Lord Tristan for help, which is not a good thing."

As Lancelot spoke, he picked up the knight's greatbow, nocked an arrow, drew the string, and fired.

However, the arrow was only slightly too powerful; it pierced through the protective poisonous fire but failed to injure the raging serpent's body.

"Should we lower the dragon's altitude? Our arrows are having little effect. Perhaps Lord Lancelot should clear out the mountain warriors below first, which might attract the dragon's attention."

The Knight of the Righteousness beside him offered his thoughts, but Lancelot simply raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

"You continue to hold off the mountain people's attack; leave the rest to me."

After saying that, Lancelot jumped off the city wall and joined the army of the mountain people surrounding the city.

"Identity confirmed: Lancelot, one of the Knights of the Round Table! If we can kill him here, the Holy City's military strength could be reduced by a quarter."⁹

Lancelot charged into the enemy ranks as if they were nothing. While the suffering civilians certainly deserved pity, for the fighting soldiers, it was nothing short of an insult.

The mountain people's soldiers before them were undoubtedly true warriors; most had overcome their fear, and even their initial thought upon seeing Lancelot was still to kill him and achieve victory. ④

"Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake, is the strongest knight of the Round Table. Make them retreat immediately. Facing a Servant without the strength to fight him head-on is a pointless sacrifice." (8)

"I understand."

Upon hearing the name, Dr. Roman anxiously spoke to Fujimaru Ritsuka. Fujimaru Ritsuka had already begun altering troop deployments upon receiving information about the Servant's participation, and knowing the other party's identity, she was even more determined. (II)

"At this time, there is no option on the western front that can contend with Lancelot..." 9

The Servants gathered at the main entrance and on the left, which is why the Angry Serpent was placed on the west side. Zero

Fujimaru Ritsuka pleaded with the raging serpent beneath her, asking it to support the battlefield below and stop Lancelot, who was moving through unchecked.

But the angry serpent refused, instead transmitting its words into Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind.

"My mission is to protect your life. The mortals below are not of much value; their dead lives are even more valuable than their living lives."

The raging serpent had no interest in the battlefield below; if possible, it only intended to wait for everything to end, take death with it, and successfully complete its mission.

Upon receiving this reply, Fujimaru Ritsuka chose to prop herself up and was about to jump off the angry snake.

"Using your own life as leverage? That certainly gives you a way out. Protecting your life is the king's order, and I cannot allow this to happen."

I will try to stop the knights below, but you must remain still, hold on tight to my body, and do not let go before I die.

The raging serpent quickly relented, and after using its magic to hinder Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions, it spoke to him.

"please."

"All soldiers near Lancelot, evacuate. The reinforcements from the Furious Serpent are arriving soon. Be careful to avoid being accidentally injured."

Nifujimaru Ritsuka immediately grabbed the raging snake's body and informed the soldiers below.

The nine raging serpents hovering in the air let out a deafening roar, opened their mouths to gather magic power, and stirred up a terrifying storm as they rushed downwards.

Four "achieved".

Listening to the airburst from the sky, Lancelot showed a joyful expression. He ignored the retreating mountain people beside him, letting them go as he began to gather the strength in his legs.

Four terrible gales arrived first, tearing apart and compressing the thin layer of dust. Then came terrible heat and poisonous gas, threatening to engulf Lancelot, who was standing on the ground.

Lancelot was also waiting for this moment, leaping up from the ground with his own strength and activating his Lake Knight skill at the same time.

Lancelot's skill, Knight of the Lake, can temporarily add a + to any attribute except Luck, which in effect doubles the attribute.

With his agility instantly increased, Lancelot's jumping ability was enhanced once again. Holding the holy sword Arondette, he faced the raging serpent that was swooping down from the sky.

The four holy swords, Arondette, drawn from their sheaths, can raise all of Lancelot's stats by one level. With the help of Arondette and the Knight of the Lake, Lancelot's stats can reach an astonishing level.

"Shining like the surface of water, burning fiercely, my holy sword! 'Boundless Break - Aroundight Overload!'"

The magic hidden within the sword overflowed, compressing the attack on the army into a single target, while the mirror-like lake surface swept across the front.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The End

"The City of Chalk will change according to the heart of its holder. If there is gloom in the heart, if it is tainted, it will develop flaws and be crushed by the raging waves."

Now is the time. The corrupted holy city has lost its purity and will collapse with just one blow.

Bedivere raised his silver arm once again in front of the main gate of the Holy City. The gate, which had been completely unshakable by any previous attacks, was easily broken this time.

This was not a strike that unleashed a Noble Phantasm, but merely a forward punch, yet the gates of the Holy City collapsed with a deafening roar, shattering into a pile of debris and fragments.

"The main gate—the main gate has been smashed!"

The warriors below cheered excitedly and immediately turned around, rushing towards the opened gates of the holy city.

"Everyone, follow me and charge through the main gate to retake the Holy City!"

"Although the three newly appeared Demon Pillars are interference, it is impossible to disperse our power there now. Only by defeating the Lion King can we redirect our power to destroy the Demon Pillars."

The key to this battle still lies with the Lion King; the Demon Pillar is merely a distraction. If the Lion King loses, the Demon Pillar cannot disrupt today's outcome.

The three demonic beasts appeared near Camelot and, upon arrival, launched an attack, wreaking havoc. (8)

Whether they were mountain people or soldiers of the Holy City, they were all within their attack range; there were no allies among them. 5.

"Lord Agguwen, the main gate has been breached! It's only a matter of time before the enemy troops are at the city gates... Please have His Majesty use the Light of Retribution again as soon as possible!" (VII)

The soldier delivering the intelligence rushed in, anxiously relaying the battle report to Agguivin. ⑥

"There's no need for that. Even if we're breached head-on, we still have the Knights of the Round Table. Tristan is still in the city, and Gawain is only tied up. Hassan and the others can't hold him off for long."

Agravli shook his head. The king had already made his move earlier and was currently in a standoff with the opposing king. The situation wasn't too dire, and it wasn't worth disturbing the king. 3

"No, Lord Tristan's troops have been routed and no longer exist! Lord Tristan has been severely wounded by the enemy and has temporarily retreated into the city."

"...This is indeed surprising. It's arguably the most surprising thing since we came from the Holy Land."

...What happened? There shouldn't be any Mountain Folk capable of defeating Lord Tristan. Has that king intervened again? (II)

A slight ripple appeared on Agguiwen's usually solemn, stone-like face as he asked in surprise.

“It was…it was Hassan…a Hassan who had turned into a horrible beast, tearing apart Lord Tristan’s forces like a raging wild animal.”

"So it really was that king who brought about this change. I understand now."

Upon hearing this, Agravan could roughly guess what had happened, so he turned and hurried to the throne room.

If either Lord Tristan or Lord Gawain were to be defeated, the defenses of the Holy City would indeed be in grave danger.

As for Lancelot, Agravure didn't expect the man to succeed; he simply sent him away.

"It's so noisy, Agravain. Has the Holy Capital been breached yet?"

Agrave walked into the throne room, and the Lion King, who was sitting on the throne holding the Holy Lance, looked up at Agrave and said.

"...It seems so. The opponent not only has pieces that can trap Gao Wenqing, but also pieces that can injure Tristan. This was my miscalculation."

The main gate has been breached, and the rebel army has entered the city. Therefore, my lord, there is no need to delay any longer; the decision now rests with you.

...Open the Tower of the End here and establish the thousand-year kingdom that could not be realized in Britain—an ideal country that is neither invaded by anyone nor invades anyone.

I will witness your achievements.

"...Alright. Since Iron Agraven has said so, then I'll make it happen for you."

The final wave has reached my throne. Close the Round Table; this realm will become a staircase. Camelot will enter an era of raging storms; in the name of the Storm King, it is time to seize everything.

The Lion King, seated on his throne, delivered his judgment with a divine air, and activated the sacred spear he held in his hand.

Like the pure, flawless city of chalk, a radiant light emanates from the throne where the Lion King stands, signaling the imminent activation of the Tower of the End.

A terrifying amount of magic surged forth as the Holy Lance was activated, and light formed a wall-like structure that surrounded the royal city where the Lion King resided.

That light was the outer armor of the Holy Lance Lungminiad. As the Holy Lance was activated, the heat around the Holy City began to rise rapidly, and the era began to show signs of collapse.

The world is beginning to shut down; at the edge of this singularity, that boundless void is swallowing the earth.

When everything collapses, the construction of the tower at the end will be completed, and the closed world will be transformed into an ideal country isolated from the world.

……

At the moment when the monster had just appeared and the city gate had just been breached.

Gawain's Cavendish erupted with a sun-like flame that engulfed the intoxicated Hassan, but in the end, it was still a pointless act.

"I think my divine power can last for a while longer, and it seems that it can last until the destruction of the Holy City."
